preppers from Finland??

Stupid to the point of insanity, but that I think for me personally defines religion in general, most religions have far more in common with each other than differences, but those minor discrepancies is enough for people to want to kill each other for millennia.

You still didn't tell me how you know they are Christians. "Catholic" or "Protestant" in that part of the world is a cultural identity, not a faith.

Of course they are Christians, Protestant Christians and Roman Catholic Christians one follows Anglican Christianity the other Papal Christinity, Its why when I was fighting out there you often saw the Reverend Ian Paisley leading Protestant Christians in protests, and on more than one occasion catholic priests being caught with IRA weapons hidden under their cassocks.

hmm,it was ment to be a faith of love and careing and the bosses manage to screw things up..well Christianity is still far better than that cult those towel heads call faith.

and if I need a chat with the big dude upstairs,I don't need anybody in between

 

[DrHenley]

So explain to me a Catholic Atheist. (I know one)
Or an Episcopalian Deist (Thomas Jefferson was one)

No idea about the second one but hazarding a guess at the first he was born , christened and raised as a Roman Catholic then decided on reaching adulthood he no longer believes. But when people can believe in dietys that have no proof of existence, no evidence to support their beliefs except some books written by other people over 1000 years ago and rewritten countless times by people with agendas of their own like Henry 8th one has to accept people can call themselves what ever they like. Whats that famous American phrase " Different strokes for different folks?"

I was born and raised in a Christian household as an Anglican, but when I grew up I also grew out of following any sort of diety.

Is he still a Catholic? (he hasn't been excommunicated)
And the second question is, is he a Christian? Was he ever a Christian? (according to reformed theology, the answer is no - he is not now, nor never was a Christian)

In other words, if I go to an airport, does that make me an airplane?

As far as evidence, there is plenty. But you would have to take my word for it, because the evidence is primarily internal. Oh, there is plenty of external evidence, but you would have an alternative explanation. That's why it's called a "faith" not a "science" and will never be proven scientifically.

 

[jontte]

okay,guys,let's face the fact that some of us belive and some don't and that's how it is,arguing about faith is very un-productive and papa-smurf says no no boys

 

[Silent Earth]

And that my friend is why I have no time for religion, because yo every person each example is different, A says B is a heretic, B says C is not a real Christian, C says D is not a real Christian because he follows a different text for of the bible and it goes on and on then they start killing each other in growing numbers. for my simple point of life is for some FAITH supports, Faith nurtures, but faith also KILLS.

well,mamma Johanna,what do you think now when our customs seized 300kg of dynamite at the northern border?? that 300kg was "travelling" without any documents to whom and where it was sent to,no markings on the truck that it was carrying explosives,no nothing.

 

[mamma Johanna]

I stock up food and seeds, Follow news and so..
I'm quite scared of those refugees , what if there comes with isis fighters... I understad that women and children come to safety but it seems that there is more men than women... And i dont trust that they are sincere... Well, haveto get more bullets. and then our government....financial disaster is coming , I 'm afraid the new civil war like it was 1918.... ( ja olikos tässä tekstissä mitään tolkkua )

There is a section on this forum just for lady preppers.

With the understanding that I'm offering something constructive, and don't wish to offend...have you considered practicing cross-dressing in private?

Passing yourself off as a man in a crisis may help you get out of certian situations, as certian portions of the Islamic world are very restrictive toward women.

If you do this, have parts of your face bandaged with bloody gauze and dressings, making sure that it extends to your neck area...justifying why you can't talk because of your 'injury'...and concealing your real gender so that you can escape.

It's an idea, anyway. It requires practice. If you do this, get books on method-acting from the library, and practice in private.

I hope I didn't offend you.
